Putting in a Schwarzenegger is worse than a Bustamante. Because then you basically surrender even the possiblity of conservatism. When Bustamante fails, you can counter with “see...we need conservatism.” When Schwarzenegger fails, you have no comeback, because in the mind of the average voter GOP=conservative.
I can understand going with a more moderate candidate sometimes, because that’s all you can get, but 2003 was in particular a golden opportunity for conservatism. Instead, the country-clubbers forced their candidate in, in order to stop conservatism.
I see Fiorina somewhat in the same light.
No I am afraid that is not how it works. People like Bustamante, Barry Hessian, Hitler, Stalin are so evil that they will do irreversible damage. Like a cancer that destroys a body part to the point on no return.
All Schwarzenegger’s non-sense is reversible and the next Governor of Ca will be Meg Whitman so the GOP will not pay for him.
We will not get a conservative again but there is not one running so ....
BTW I have been for DeVore from the beginning. I have given the guy $ and have, through word of mouth, campaigned for him.
Fiorina will be the next senator of Ca and I will vote, campaign and send her $ so the witch Boxer (cancer) is destroyed before this great county goes beyond the point of return.
The ‘I will wait for a conservative’ crowd, IMHO is the reason we had 60 far left socialist senator, a house full of rats and the POTUS that is the most liberal, socialist evil thing ever to call itself Mr president.
That gave us the health care bill from hell. That was the biggest thing the government has done in 50 years. If nothing else happens in this evil administration Barry H will go down in history for that single act and the country we both love will be forever changed for the far far worse.
